Pop singer Whitney Houston has told police in Atlanta that her husband Bobby Brown, beat her causing a one inch bruise on her cheek and a cut upper lip.

Police may press charges against Brown after responding to a call from Houston.

The singer told officers that Brown beat her after he "confronted" her when she returned home on Sunday night, according to a police report. No one was arrested.

Fulton County District Attorney spokesman Erik Friedly said the case had not yet been turned over to the office. "I don't know what the situation is," he said.

Houston told police that Brown, a 34-year-old singer, hit the left side of her face with an open right hand. He then went to the airport for a flight to Los Angeles, the Fulton County Police report said. Houston, 40, then contacted police.

Police said they were trying to reach Brown to get his side of the story.

In August, Brown served seven days in DeKalb County Jail for violating his probation for a 1996 drunken driving conviction. He also served 26 days in a Florida jail in 2000 for an earlier probation violation.

Houston and Brown have been married since July 1992. They have a 10-year-old daughter, Bobbi Kristina.
